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
Operational resilience is being tested from every direction.
Regulation, AI and new asset classes are landing on the same processes, run by the same teams. The ECB has made operational resilience one of two supervisory priorities for 2026 to 2028.
regulatory regimes live or phasing in across EU capital markets between 2026 and 2027
of large banks under ECB supervision use AI in some form, with ownership still split across IT, data science, business lines and control functions (ECB, 2026)
growth in tokenised assets since 2024 (ECB, 2026)
Institutions that come out of this stronger are the ones whose operations hold under it. Risk models that stand up to validation, controls that catch what they are built to catch, settlement that clears when the window halves. All of it is built where the work actually runs.
