Georgia Klein

Head of Planning Delivery and Engagement @Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)

Outcome Delivery Plan (ODP) Development – Working with the most senior officials in the department to ensure the department’s activities and plans align to the Governments Missions, DWP’s strategic goals and the long-term vision of the Department. I develop a clear, credible and articulate ODP that is forward thinking and achievable within DWP’s Spending Review (SR) settlement. Deliverability - I am responsible for quarterly deliverability assessments of the ODP, including leading the high-profile deliverability process at fiscal events to ensure that new proposals and initiatives can be safely delivered alongside existing commitments. I bring clear coordination and collaboration across departmental functions to distill key delivery challenges and ensure the Executive Team, Departmental Board and Ministers are making sound, evidence-based judgements in managing the delivery of the Plan and work closely with the Risk Management Directorate and delivery teams to support the management and mitigation of relevant deliverability risks. Planning communications - I lead and manage a top-down communication process, engaging across the business to ensure everyone understands the ODP, are bought into the outcomes it is looking to drive and understands how they contribute. I influence business planning processes across the organisation, to align with ODP outcomes, ensuring the benefits of doing so are understood and that accountabilities and responsibilities (including those of DPP) are understood department-wide. Leadership and Management – I ensure the strategic direction of the team and its activities are aligned with the wider work of the Directorate and the Department. I am a core member of the senior leadership team and play an active role in the corporate leadership of Departmental Planning & Performance.
