A fascinating related concept is incentive compatibility (one of his variants use the Nash equilibrium).

  « A mechanism is called incentive-compatible (IC) if every participant can achieve the best outcome to him/herself just by acting according to his/her true preferences. »

I use this mind tool very frequently being an incentive system architect.

One interesting technology that allow IC is the vickrey auction.
