Our
Philosophy
CPL helps clients move from stalemate to execution. When direct engagement breaks down, we step in to rebuild trust, align incentives, and structure a practical path forward—across government, industry, investors, and communities.
A Strategic Partner
CPL is a consulting and project delivery partner focused on complex environments where outcomes depend on stakeholder alignment. Just because all parties speak English does not mean they share the same understanding—CPL closes that gap with disciplined engagement, clear governance, and accountable delivery.
Stakeholder Management
We map influence and risk, define engagement strategy, manage expectations, and keep communications consistent—so decisions are made with clarity and momentum is maintained.
Project Management & Delivery
We translate strategy into execution: scope, timelines, roles, approvals, and reporting—ensuring delivery remains bankable, compliant, and operationally realistic.
Networks & Market Access
We leverage a strong network across Africa and the Middle East to connect credible counterparties, accelerate problem-solving, and support responsible transaction facilitation where required.
How we work
CPL engages where complexity is high and alignment is decisive. We provide structure when relationships are strained, bring parties back to a shared operating picture, and coordinate the steps needed to move from concept to execution—without losing control of risk, reputation, or compliance.
Governance, Compliance, and Responsible Delivery
CPL prioritizes transparent governance, ethical conduct, and practical risk management. Engagements are supported by due diligence, documented processes, and clear accountability—so projects and transactions can progress through credible, compliant channels.
Engagement Criteria
You let us play a part
We are most effective when clients need a single, accountable partner to coordinate stakeholders, manage delivery, and keep outcomes on track—especially in multi-party, cross-border environments.
You value certainty and control
We structure clear roles, decision rights, and reporting—reducing friction, avoiding surprises, and protecting delivery timelines.
You need a partner for the full journey
From stakeholder alignment and approvals through to execution support, we remain engaged to maintain momentum and deliver measurable outcomes.
The Bridge When Others Can’t
Founder: Lars Magnusson
From Sweden to the City of London, Wall Street, and across Africa—from Tanzania and Madagascar to South Africa—I have built a career at the intersection of global markets, complex industries, and high-stakes relationships.
My experience spans gaming, biotech, cybersecurity, HTI/ITP, physical security at G20 environments, oil exploration and production, and the wholesale trade of crude and refined products, as well as video-editing platforms in the pre-YouTube era, later sold to Research In Motion (BlackBerry).
My core strength is building bridges between people when the first and second options have failed—being the practical third option, and often the trusted last option, to move conversations forward and deliver outcomes.
