Lockwood’s definition (2006) is “talent management is the implementation of integrated strategies or systems designed to increase workplace productivity by developing improved processes for attracting, developing, retaining and utilizing people with the required skills and aptitude to meet current and future business needs.” Larry Dunivan (2010) notes that “talent management has become the call to action for a more consultative, knowledge-based role for Human Resources in overall business management. . . .
