Bring a consultant - won't change much but you tried
Train and certify everybody - Won't change much but you tried
Add 'Agile' to all existing Job Titles - you changed nothing but looks like you tried
First you need to define Agile in the context of that organisation. Do you really need to be Agile? How Agile that organisation need to be?
Agile is not a silver bullet for lack of knowledge and resources. Nor should be an obfuscation of chaos, lack of direction, vision and management.
Like any transformation it needs vision at the top and resources. The best way (IMHO) is to treat it like a project or if you don't like the work a process improvement initiative: set goals, allocate resources, check progress. Use OCM (ADKAR) if needed.
Agile pushed from top to bottom or the other way won't be successful.
Top Down - Evolution
Bottom Up - Revolution
Either way it needs 'new blood'. Dreaming that you cam change the culture without replacing (some) people remains a dream.

Stelian, Thanks a lot for more detailed information! I agree on "new blood" concept.
It's all to do with mindset; that differentiates the being from doing.

Top-down,Bottom-up, 'invitation-based' and all possible ways can be implemented to start doing Agile. By achieving short-term wins, show-casing them to all levels of the organisation, to various departments (not just project execution teams) including functional teams and the experts, people will start understanding the difference.
This can bring slower, steady change in mindset and by having concrete plans for the transformation across the organisation including HR, Procurement etc., without jeopardising employees' morale, we can accomplish the transformation from Doing Agile to Being Agile. Saving Changes...

It is impossible doing agile without being agile. Agile is a way of thinking and behave. That is critical to understand and it is mostly (95% of time) missing. Because of that Agile implementations fail.
