Strategy implementation is the translation of the chosen strategy into organizational action aimed at achieving organizational objectives. Strategy implementation definitions may sound easy although in reality successful strategy formulation does not guarantee successful strategy implementation. Vision 2030 is a major strategic decision that the Kenyan government has endeavored to pursue. The Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat has recorded sluggish outcome in its implementation of Vision 2030 strategy as depicted in the last five years medium term. The purpose of the study is to establish the challenges facing implementation of vision 2030 strategy in Kenya and to determine how Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat addresses these challenges. The researcher used a case study design to undertake the research. The researcher used primary data which was collected using a self-administered interview guide. The respondents in this study were drawn from the Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat management team. Qualitative data analysis in the form of content analysis was used. The study also concludes that implementing strategies successfully is about matching the planned and the realizing strategies, which together aim at reaching the organizational vision. The study concludes that structure should balance the needs for specialization with the need for integration; it should provide formal means of decentralizing and centralizing consistent with organizational control needs of the strategy. The study recommends that the Vision Delivery Secretariat and Vision Delivery Board should be placed and directly report to the Office of the President, to provide the strategic direction needed for enhanced implementation of the national Vision. To sustain the imperative growth of Kenya, it is essential that government invests in world class talent to drive its development. Agencies responsible for the development of the legislative bills need to have a dedicated resource to fast track Vision 2030 related bills
