Take some of these skills as part of performance management. Ask the team members what they want to learn and ask their supervisors about what skills they feel they need to develop.

3. Organization and prioritization.

Understanding employee preferences, they decide which skills are the top priority for the entire team, a business unit, or a hierarchy. When some employees develop their skills on an individual basis (such as joining a working group to learn HTML5 programming), they also create a short list of learning topics that they will address as a company level.

A good learning plan is far more than sending an employee to class, and a combination of the following forms:
Learning activities (internal and external) such as training courses, learning to share meetings, seminars.
Experiential learning. For example, work in roles, special tasks, collaborative trading, learning at work.
Mentors/teachings (because teaching creates learning and also shares knowledge), such as organized teachers, partners, and common interest groups.
Knowledge management, such as best time sharing, recommendation and reading materials, internal standards, and process records.
