actionable: Definition, Synonyms and Much More From Answers.com: "2. Relating to or being information that allows a decision to be made or action to be taken."
An update from the language-retentive department: I've annoyed several people over the last few years by pointing out that "actionable" had a precise and single definition -- "Giving cause for legal action" -- and that it was thus inappropriate to use the word to mean action/execution-oriented etc., as was often the fashion in business-speak.
I noticed yesterday that Answers.com (a very useful resource; also check out their alt-click tool for instant answers etc.) added a second definition, quoted above, so I'll now stop pestering people about the word...
