I did a 60 minute version once as part of a half day "training" session
preparing a group of folks to be ready for an OS in their organization. It
was a big success! Having the actual experience was what put them over the
top in terms of their understanding of and commitment to the process.

I agree that doing an OS demonstration is challenging. I did a 90-minute
version once for a group of colleagues. Had three 20-minute sessions
squeezed in. It was awful. Everybody looked bored. Never again.
On the other hand, I did a 30-minute thing for a client once involving the
top 20 managers in an American airline company. They kept pressing me for
an explanation, so during a break I hurriedly made the posters and stuck
them on the walls. Then I reconvened everyone in a circle and did the
opening. That's all. No postings. No actual open space.
They loved it. A month later I was doing a one-day event for them to
explore their frequent-flier program, customers included.
