Abstract
Patterns have established themselves as a useful and practicable instrument for capturing reusable solutions to reoccurring problems in a multitude of domains. This paper discusses three cases of pattern application – at Riga City Council, Kongsberg Automotive, and Proton Engineering, An outlook on how pattern based approaches should be developed to support business and IT alignment and the concept of capability as means to deliver context dependent organizational solutions is also presented.
