The trick isn't to disagree. It is to suggest a well thought out alternative that has more benefits. One that is concrete, fleshed out, and quantitative.

Don't just raise red flags about other peoples' plans. Make your own plan and sell it.

When you sell this new plan, it should barely even mention the plan you don't like. It should stand on its own, but it should also solve the problems that the original plan you dislike solves.

tldr; Be part of the solution.

In most organizations, this is the correct answer.

A conflict competent organization recognizes that:

1. some people are better at highlighting risk

2. some people are better at coming up with solutions

3. some people are better at implementation.

4. some people can do 1-3 (or some combo), but that doesn't make them inherently superior because a diversity of inputs tends to provide better results.

I've been thinking a lot about maturity models lately, I think your points would go well in a maturity model.
