Embedding operational resilience in regulated capital markets

Who we are

Magpie Projects - Execution partner, from design to production

We carved out of LPA Consulting in 2025 and brought twenty years of capital markets work with us, along with the entire team.

We work across risk, compliance and operations. Operational resilience is what that work produces: controls that hold under supervision, processes that survive volume and failure, systems that keep running when something breaks.

We design the target operating model, build the controls and stay accountable until they run in production. Our teams sit inside the client organisation, senior-led, and the people who scope the work are the people who deliver it. Where AI belongs in that work, we take it from use case to governed deployment inside regulated environments.

Who we serve

DACH capital markets institutions, from operating model to production

Banks, exchanges, asset managers and private banks across Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Some mandates start with a regulatory deadline or a supervisory finding. More of them start somewhere else: a settlement process that has outgrown its operating model, a change programme stuck between business and IT, a target operating model that exists on paper but not in the line.

We run the assessment, design the target operating model and then build it. Most programmes stall on the last part. Our teams stay accountable through implementation, until the operating environment holds up in daily operations and under supervisory scrutiny. That is where operational resilience is actually built.

Risk frameworks and model validation. Compliance management and financial crime. Post-trade, settlement and reporting. Governed AI deployment across all three.

We work embedded in the client organisation, senior-led, from design through to production.

The problem we face today

Capital markets institutions are at an inflection point.

Public and private capital flows are converging, regulations are tightening, and technology promises efficiencies that remain out of reach for many.

0 %

of private equity firms are actively investing or planning to invest in AI-driven finance initiatives (FTI Consulting, 2024).

0 %
of CFOs recognize AI's potential, prioritizing practical finance applications like accelerated close and enhanced cash forecasting (CFO Connect, 2025).
0 %

of CFOs remain uncertain about how to begin or which partners to trust when implementing these technologies (TechRadar, 2024).

This uncertainty carries real risks. Institutions could lose relevance as markets are reshaped by data, evolving regulation, and integrated capital flows. Clear direction today safeguards your position tomorrow.
