Orfika, actually, one could argue that Arima did do his job. When comparing Akaneki, Haise, and Shironeki, one of the differences is that Akaneki and Haise seem to rely more on skill rather than brute strength. For example, Akaneki chose to bide his time and wait for an opportunity to strike rather than relying on brute strength alone (a.k.a. Shironeki). Also, Takeomi once mentioned in his diary entry that Haise's swordmanship was excellent; again, we see that he is rather skilled. Taking this into account, who were the ones responsible for this change in Kaneki? Arima and Akira. They instilled discipline and skill into Haise (therefore, Akaneki as well). The only reason Haise seemed "weaker" was that he was more reluctant to use his kagune, and even then, Haise seemed skilled in using it. During the fight between Haise and Nishiki (before he was kicked through the stomach and began to emulate Kaneki), Haise was not only in complete control of his kagune, but he was able to use his quinque alongside it with an equal amount of skill. What I'm trying to say is that the effect of Arima's training only became noticeable AFTER Haise got his memories back as not only does Akaneki have Kaneki's raw strength back, he also has Haise's skill.
