Between intention and impact, something critical keeps getting lost. Not because people don’t care. Because the system was never designed to help them succeed at that translation.

Clarus Praxis exists to fix the system.

Clarity. Focus. Results

Led by Zakk Flanagan, MSc

Zakk Flanagan is the founder of Clarus Praxis and the author of Outcomes Enablement: Why Organisations Confuse Activity with Impact & How to Focus Work on the Results That Matter (2026).

He has spent eighteen years in transformation, change management, project management and strategy roles inside large, complex organisations in Canada and the UK. They were safety-critical, heavily regulated, multi-site operations, where the gap between what leadership intends and what actually changes on the ground can be very wide.

He holds an MSc in Occupational and Organisational Psychology, and it shapes everything about how he works. Change only lands when it makes sense to the people who have to live with it, so the human side is where the work starts, not an add-on at the end. He also brings APM project management certification and Prosci change management training, so he knows the established methods well, and knows where they need something to point at.

A former manager once nicknamed him the Outcome Architect, for his habit of turning a sprawl of competing outcomes into something with a logical shape. The name stuck, mostly to his amusement.

Originally from England, Zakk moved to British Columbia in 2017 and founded Clarus Praxis to make Outcomes Enablement accessible to organisations under genuine pressure to create real change with finite resources.

When you work with Clarus Praxis, you work with me directly, from the first conversation to the final handover. Where a project needs more hands, I bring in trusted associates, and you'll know exactly who they are before they start.
