Strategic planning is crucial in guiding organisations towards their objectives, and understanding the factors that impede the successful implementation of strategy has become imperative. With the recent technical developments, new government regulations, and elevated societal expectations, institutions of higher education have to deal with a dynamic operating environment. Using a sample of 285 respondents, this study examined the factors influencing strategy implementation at the Copperbelt University in zambia. The study used quantitative methods and found that: resource allocation, leadership and organizational culture had a significant effect on strategy implementation. This study suggests that a strong and effective pool of skills, and human capital are important resources for strategy success including a flexible structure and adaptive employees who are prepared to make process and procedure adjustments. Organsitions should therefore ensure that essential financial resources, time, skills, and expertise are adequate to have a successful strategy implementation process.
