  Control System Design For this assignment, I decided to take the Interbank Bank of Peru as a reference again. Interbank's background Internacional del Peru Bank was founded on May 1, 1897. In 1996 it was decided to change the name to Interbank, beginning a new way of doing banking in Peru, and with the aim of turning each agency into a true financial store where, just by entering, the client felt that they were accessing a different, reliable and solid bank.  A place where you could find financial products and services provided with the necessary advice and special, agile, convenient, close, and innovative attention. Its mission is to be the best bank through the best people and its purpose is to "accompany Peruvians to achieve their dreams, today". Today Interbank is one of the main financial institutions in the country focused on providing innovative products and a convenient and agile service to more than 2 million customers.

  Big Summary After reviewing all four articles and watching Simon Sinek's video on building effective teams, I can find several common themes. For example, all the authors talk about the importance of having clear goals and objectives for the team. This involves creating a motivating vision, defining specific and measurable goals, and translating them into achievable tasks.

  "Trusting Teams: The 5 Practices" In this video, Simon Sinek emphasizes the importance of trusting teams to build successful organizations. He begins by describing his experience at the Four Seasons Hotel, where he observed people who really enjoyed their jobs. According to Sinek, the main differentiator is the level of trust within the organization. When people feel safe, they can be vulnerable and trust their leaders and colleagues. Sinek contrasts the Four Seasons environment with another workplace, Caesar's Palace, where employees just go through the motions and don't feel comfortable with each other. He emphasizes that leadership plays an important role in creating the employee experience and, consequently, the quality of customer service. The speaker criticizes the common assumption of trying to get the most out of staff by comparing them to wrung-out towels. Instead, he proposes a more effective strategy of cultivating an environment in which people can natur
