Improvement vs Change

As I was reading my copy of XP2E, I was struck by the first 
sentence "XP is about social change" and that prompted my to reflect 
on my efforts to create a more Agile environment for myself.  It has 
been my experience that many organizations want improvement, but I 
have yet to encounter one who wants social change.  If that is the 
case, am I just seeting myself up for an exercise in frustration 
where eventually I just decide to change my environment?  

If an organziation does not identify with the need for social change, 
what hope is there for XP, or Agile in general, at that location?  
What characteristics of organization suggest it is ready for social 
change as opposed to merely improvement?
