Unit Service Plan
The Unit Service Plan is a tool to strengthen a unit and enable it to offer the best possible program to the youth it serves . A collaborative effort between the unit ’ s leaders , its chartered organization , the unit commissioner , and the district operating committee .
�� A Unit Service Plan provides focus . It is built upon a collaborative assessment of a unit ’ s strengths and needs between the unit ’ s leaders , its chartered organization , the unit commissioner , and the district operating committee .
�� A Unit Service Plan establishes a customized annual plan that is periodically reviewed and updated to provide continuing improvement .
�� A Unit Service Plan contains actionable information . It includes a limited number ( typically , five to seven ) SMART goals ; goals that are Specific , Measurable , Achievable , Relevant and Resource oriented , and Time based .
�� A Unit Service Plan enables linkage to other resources needed to ensure success .
Most of all the “ USP ” represents the process of continuous improvement that enables good units to become better and great units to become ( more ) excellent .

The Plan Process :
As seen in the chart above , the process is never ending . Once a cycle is finished , you start all over again . It ’ s really simple : – Review past JTE performance ( reports are available ) – Hold the unit assessment meeting ( about an hour ) – Complete the assessment together – Identify opportunities to improve – Develop action plans and print them out – Identify responsibility in the unit and in the District – Establish target dates that are within the next 3-12 months – Set SMART goals that are agreed upon by everyone – Follow-up regularly
Everything depends on the Unit Key 3 !
