# Map the Talent Pipeline Forward Under New Assumptions

**Action:** Conduct a dynamic [[concept-talent-supply-chain-analysis]] to trace development pathways and stress-test what the pipeline can actually produce under new AI hiring assumptions. Surface the *experiential capital* AI is quietly removing, and share these findings with **board directors** to connect automation decisions to long-term leadership-supply risk.

**Owner/altitude:** CHRO + strategy, reporting to the board.

**Expected outcome:** visibility into lost experiential capital and board-level alignment on long-term leadership-supply risk — the diagnostic precondition for [[action-redesign-entry-level-cohorts]] and the broader [[framework-capability-debt-audit]]. This action directly addresses the invisibility problem of the [[concept-knowledge-cliff]].
