The essence of training is acquiring or improving skills. If you undergo training, and no change occurs in how you do the things you were trained at, then the training did not matter.
If you had a certain way of planning projects, and underwent training on how to plan projects more correctly, then you went back to your way (which was not as good), then the training did not matter. Sometimes the reason you went back to the old way was not due to yourself. Perhaps the organisation you work in prefers the old way, and resists the new way (a very common situation), then you face incongruity. You know what you're doing is not as effective as the new way, but you 'have no choice'. It takes a lot of effort to try and change an organisations. If you tried, you may end up alienating people, or making enemies. There is also the risk that your execution of the new way won't be as effective as the old way. This is a real risk, because after all, you are just a beginner in the new way.
