Cogniscope v.3 was developed by Future Worlds Center and Ekkotek Ltd. under the leadership of Yiannis Laouris as an upgrade to Cogniscope V2, the rights of which were transferred to Ekkotek by Alexander Christakis. Between June 18-July 1, 2010, pioneers of the Institute for 21st Century Agoras participated in a series of sessions of a virtual SDDP co-Laboratory with the Triggering Question:

In anticipation of the evolution of the Internet and other interactive technology platforms (social networks etc...) what should be the requirements for the next generation of Cogniscope/ Webscope software (CSIII) for the enhanced and scaled-up practice of SDD?

The results were documented and drove the design of the next generation Cogniscope/Webscope. Many of the features that ended up at the root of the Influence MAP were used as requirements for the development of Cogniscope v.3.

Cogniscope v.3 was released in 2013 with lifetime unlimited license to the participants of the 2010 SDDP.

Single and multiple professional licenses are sold by Ekkotek. Free versions are available for educators (limited functionalities) and unregistered SDDP Facilitators (limited time).
