Longevity Planning Blocks (LPBs)
The global population is ever changing; living longer than ever before, society calls for new and creative tools and services to serve a population of adults living longer – and better – than ever before. Preparedness, including financial preparedness, is imperative for quality of life in older adulthood. The financial planning industry, uniquely positioned to serve this growing population of older adults, could benefit from innovative design changes to better serve their clients. This, we explored using tangible design artifacts and gaming frameworks and theories to transform financial planning services to make them more inclusive and enjoyable. Design for Longevity (D4L) aims to enhance the quality of life by considering a multitude of aspects, including family, community, mobility, education, investment, risk, the future, technology, culture, policy, and society. D4L is a holistic approach, mindset, and philosophy focused on improving individuals’ physical, mental, and social well-being across different life stages.
