Exciting Steps Forward: Phased Implementation for the revised KBENow that we’ve welcomed in the spring equinox, we are thrilled to share a promising update on the phased implementation of the revised KAIROS Blanket Exercise (KBE) model. Your steadfast support has been significant in bringing us to this pivotal stage, and we are deeply grateful for your dedication. As outlined in our previous communication, we've structured the rollout of the revised KBE model into three phases, set to begin in May. This deliberate approach will ensure a thoughtful introduction of the updated program to all our partners (long-standing and new), equipping each one with the necessary tools to be successful in continuing this powerful exercise. Here's an outline of our phased implementation plan: Phase 1: We will engage long-standing KBE partners and new partners with extensive KBE facilitator experience (approximately five years or more) who do not require training, and where these partners' facilitation teams already possess all the necessary KBE materials. Phase 2: Next, we'll onboard new KBE partners who have less than five years of facilitator experience or have occasionally delivered KBEs. While these partners' facilitation teams have the required KBE materials, they may benefit from training for new facilitators who recently joined their team. Phase 3: Finally, we will welcome new partners and their facilitators who have yet to facilitate a KBE. Comprehensive KBE training and access to the partner’s facilitation materials will be provided to support their successful implementation. Stay tuned for further details and updates as we progress through each phase of the revised KBE rollout.
