The LPA Goal-Setting Card DeckTM is composed of 80 cards that are “played” by discussing and ranking potential design outcomes. The deck establishes a common language for reviewing project goals related to human experience and wellness, building performance and community impact. By gathering the client’s perspective and insight into a range of topics, designers can build early consensus around the project vision and generate targeted strategies that best represent the client’s real-world objectives.
The final product reflects lessons learned from an extensive testing process. Ultimately, 30 copies of the deck were professionally manufactured and distributed to LPA’s six studios, along with game boards, support materials and an electronic Mural version. In the six months since it was introduced, the deck has been used on more than a dozen projects, helping to cut through assumptions about budget, identify revenue-generating opportunities and sharpen project focus on occupant health and wellness
