The paper aims to deepen the collaborative practices in the physical-digital environment that are allowing the development of decentralised and distributed glocal organisations able to bring together professionals of different nature and mobilize them to generate positive externalities for themselves and for the environment which they are part of. Exploring different examples of human networks, such as Enspiral, Ouishare and CivicWise, the peculiarities that distinguish these organisations will be defined, as well as the main value creation processes, the digital tools used, the internal working methods and the governance structures that, at the same time, guarantee the autopoiesis of the network as a system and the quality of human relationships between the people who are part of it.
