The execution of an institution’s strategic plan ensures that there is institutional success, which is the achievement of institutional vision and mandate. The study sought to interrogate the various factors that influence the successful attainment of the vision. Heathfield (2015) identifies a number of challenges that might militate against the achievement of institutional objectives, but this paper argues that although there could be those challenges a lot could be done to ensure the institutional objectives are successfully attained. The researcher adopted a qualitative research methodology due to its ability to enable the researcher to access the deep-rooted experiences, perceptions and beliefs of strategy execution participants and stakeholders. A number of in-depth interviews were held with practitioners and their experiences and perceptions were sought.
