Protecting Your Ability to Do Business.

Dezenhall is one of the most trusted crisis management firms by brands, nonprofits, law firms, individuals and a wide range of organizations. As the first practitioners of the crisis management discipline, we are pioneers in the field and continue to evolve our approach to help clients like you meet the moment.

NAVIGATING THROUGH THE STORM

Most crises threaten an organization’s ability to do business or threaten its reputation through everyday operations and, therefore, require operational strategies to mitigate their impacts. That’s where we come in.

We Take the Chaos Out of Crisis

For nearly four decades, Dezenhall’s veteran team has guided countless businesses, trade groups, higher education institutions, sports organizations and nonprofits through the most challenging and complex organizational crises.

Our role ranges from risk assessment and pre-crisis planning and preparedness, to executive advisory and hands-on mitigation and management, to reputation repair in the aftermath of a crisis.

“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

–Mike Tyson
