The first time I used a proper model that allowed me to play scenarios I really started to see where the levers of my business were - if I do this, then this thing happens. But a model is only a model. The biggest mistake I see is when people try to make a good model bent around reality so much that it becomes useless. A good snapshot maybe, but not a model.
