The distributed organization model is a kind of hybrid between completely decentralized organization and elements of centralized organization. It is often deployed when a group intends to deliberately build a social movement to precipitate social change. A distributed organization is endowed with one or several groups ensuring a certain direction of campaign or movement but acting especially at the service of the network mobilized by the social cause. It maintains more or less important links with the participating individuals and groups. It cannot therefore be completely decentralized. Leadership is distributed among several groups and people who can be supported by coordination points. - The HUB

Examples of distributed organizations
