Picking at random from a pool of concepts, of which there have been PLENTY since the dawn of man, anything one picks could be argued as being the greatest concept of all time. Depending on the person, of course.
Someone could argue that communism is the greatest concept, whilst the next person would argue the same about democracy. In a sense, what you answer and argue for depends largely on your own beliefs, your upbringing and simply where you're from.
As has been noted, this is a difficult question to answer, one, for what I just outlined, and two, because of the vast number of concepts available to choose from.
The more people who answer this question, the more concepts will be argued for, not withstanding instances where people agree on a concept already outlined earlier.
Given these hindrances to a complete and perfect answer to this question, I shall pick one, semi-randomly.
I've picked the concept of INDEPENDENCE.
Yes, a multi-faceted concept, granted, but the fact that the concept can be attributed to so many instances is what makes it rewardable.
Independence can be Financial, Social, Personal, National, Political and Religious, to name a few. Either way, it's always a good thing to possess.
Everyone knows what Independence means. (if you don't, grab a dictionary, find out what it means, renounce your citizenship to a regime which doesn't allow for it, and move out.)

Personal responsibility
If everyone were to make choices that they would hold themselves personally responsible for, the world would change markedly. There would be no need for soldiers, much fewer police would be needed, etc.
But if it were to be widely adopted and personal responsibility took hold as a cultural phenomena, we'd likely not need lawyers, politicians or borders.
Free choices that we'd be responsible for would give everyone a stake in their own life (of course), the concept of society (democratic, to be sure) and in the individual relations with others (via Jaspers' idea of communication.)
