I quite like Scrum, and I have been attempting to evangelise the approach to my bosses, collegues and recently my business partner.

Most of the push back I have gotten was that there is a fear to let go of the reigns, and allowing employees to make the neccesary decisions in order to keep the Scrum process going.

Being in a higher position with my business partner, he has accepted it, but we found that the skill of our employees Is a stumbling block in its application.

I am a firm believer that where a core team that opperates within both the Scrum and Lean Startup frameworks when guided by a strong strategic planning mechanism the team will not only be able to bring products to market very quickly but they will also be able to bring an entire business up through that same process.

One of my impedements to proving this in my current ecosystem is that I am not yet skilled enough to attract the attention that will make this happen.
