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 :-).
