Earning certificate is different with the implementation of learning. How much (in %) of PMP learning we have been able to implement in our respective organisation? Saving Changes...

This is a very subjective question. Degree of implementation depends on so many factors like the nature of the project, requirements, risk, organizations structure and so on. There is not one percentage that fits all projects. Saving Changes...
As explained by Rami, several factors influence the implementation of a project in real world, and it is difficult to figure out the % of learning that could be applied in a project.
However, components such as leading your team, communication, stakeholder engagement, performance reporting, and project delivery remain common for any project, where you can apply the skills learned, to the greatest extent possible. (....just my opinion)
A PM will usually touch all knowledge areas throughout their project - the only exception would be procurement management if no products or services are being purchased or provided. Arguably the majority of processes within the knowledge areas will also be executed so the real differences will be with regards to the specific ITTOs used - that is part of the tailoring of the PM approach to fit a given project's context.

PMBOK and reference books that we read to clear out our PMP cerfiticate are all consolidated books, contents are collected, synthesized, organized, and presented in systematic ways based on the real-world knowledge that project managers have been applying to manage projects arround the world. To say that, I mean we can apply all knowledge we got through learning to earn PMP to our projects. But as you know, each project is unique so that the degree of knowledge at which we apply and how much of process tailoring we have to do are different from project to project as Rami and Kiron pointed out. In conclusion, I think all knowledge is applicable. Saving Changes...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. After doing PMP, I started looking at things differently and also I am trying to apply the learnings at respective levels.
Although I think that organizations, especially functional organizations, should be educated about the benefits of project management techniques, there are still many shortcomings that have yet to be addressed. Saving Changes...

This is where project management offices shine. The PMO can make sure the learning is retained and refreshed. Saving Changes...

Not all organizations can afford a PMO. If you are a small size, a project manager working on programs that can create more value soon to the organization can help. Especially, if it is smaller in size. I work for one such organization.
On the other hand, a lot of big sized organizations especially defense and aviation related I see to that are highly projectized. (Strong matrix) Saving Changes...
