Introduction to Segue Games (tm)
================================
The Segue Game (tm) is a simple interactive protocol which can be
used in any situation in which people share a common goal. Due to its
unique structure, the Segue Game (tm) presents an opportunity to
easily develop a more productive style of interacting with those with
whom we work and live.

Questions for setting up a Segue (tm)
=====================================
1. What is the situation you want to address?
2. What is important about the situation?
3. How can you frame what is important as a question?
4. What is the "What is one..." form of the question?
5. What will you do with the answers? (It's important to decide this
   now and then come back to it for the Completion phase.)

Rules for playing a Segue (tm)
==============================
1. Make contact with the other person.
2. Every voice is equal. For the Segue to work, suspend rank and
   hierarchy.
3. Stick to the script, including using the other person's name and
   "Thank you" after the third response.
4. No cross-talk or comments, even of approval.
5. Respond and pass it on. Speak directly the essence of your
   response. The idea is to move the conversation quickly around the
   circle multiple times.
6. You may pass if you want more time to be with the question. A
   person who passes is nonetheless thanked.

Script for playing a Segue (tm)

How is that important to you personally?

How might that be important to us?

Thank you.

Completion
==========
Now, go back to what you decided in the Set up: 5. What will you do
with the answers? Ask the participants to conduct an "open
conversation" either to summarize their results or to identify three
or four themes they noticed or to solidify agreement for a course of
action. Together, choose what is next, e.g. create a plan for
implementing the vision they have built together, or whatever their
Segue was designed to accomplish. Very often, what is next includes
another question and another Segue. Finish by asking the individuals
what they gained from participating.
