Rex Lee’s Honors:

"With ID-ah! in place, employees no longer felt that they couldn't make a difference. Instead, they felt empowered by the groundswell. This was Rex's dream and vision." - From book, "Groundswell", by Charlene Li & Josh Bernoff - May 2008

“Bell Canada has clearly demonstrated how a business/IT partnership can work — its Collaboration Services team is jointly owned by HR and IT. I&KM pros developing Information Workplace strategies in other organizations can take away several important lessons from Bell Canada's efforts.” - Forrester 2008

“Bell Canada is one of a handful of companies that is demonstrating how collaboration can ideally work. “ - ConnectITNews 2007

"Bell Canada is…doing collaboration really well because they are instituting the necessary cultural change along with the technology implementation." - Network World 2007

“It is this type of practicing-what-they-preach that has placed Bell Canada at the corporate collaboration vanguard" - Computer World Canada 2007
