Not my insight, but that sentence itself seems actionable, and reminds me of some other winners I've seen from IBM over the decades:
HASP sprayed bits at random, resulting in a S0C4 (seen in a RETAIN item 40 years ago, and the only example here that is humorous); The operator onlined the volume (also in RETAIN 40 years ago); First you must dimension the problem, then you can solution the problem. (in an "education" class 20 years ago). The last two examples example that any word (especially a noun) can be verbed.

It sounds significant, bit it is pretentious nonsense. Properly, 'actionable' is a lawyer's term that means 'open to legal action, characterizing something that one can take legal action/bring suit against'.
