What visualization methods have you found most effective in conveying complex IT concepts or strategies to stakeholders?

We use Microsoft PowerBI extensively at the company. Over 15,000 reports.
For our "corporate" reports, like financials or HR, we centralize those requests and attend them with my team.
We currently "extract" information from multiple systems (ie. SAP, SuccessFactors, CRM, etc...) and put in into a SQL Analysis Services. For interpreting the data we have a Semantics model in PBI.
The problem I see is we can't scale enough to comply with the reporting demands as the semantic model is "unique" and we end up having only one or two developers that can work at a time.
Anyone has an idea how to scale their PBI teams without having to redevelop the semantic model per report?

What is the one indispensable action you would emphasize for a successful Data Strategy, which would have a lasting impact on your organization's long term competitiveness?
