It has been a while since I watched, but are you asking in terms of
solutions (e.g. process modelling) or implementations (e.g.
architectural styles). It is really hard to give any comprehensive
answer here but some 'tools' I have found useful are:
 - clear thinking
 - identifying abstractions - by abstraction I mean strictly
'something that removes ambiguity and allows you to talk more clearly
about it'
 - Domain Driven Design for a mechanism of breaking down complex
domains. The Ubiquitous Language alone is worth its weight in gold
 - Event Sourcing and hexagonal architectures for handling complex
implementations

By far and away though, "clear thinking" is the tool which had the
most effort. For this, I highly recommend the Theory of Constraints.

Another technique I use heavily is describing things to the duck and
noting how many times I have to use the word 'and' or, 'except in this
case when ...'.

Not sure this answered the question you were asking :-).
