Research by Alliance for Talent Development (ATD) shows that HR departments, due primarily to budgetary considerations, are less likely to perceive talent management as an integrated process, let alone to address it as such (ASTD global conference, 2009).

It seems to me that every HR department fights for a piece of the puzzle, without actually completing the picture.
