There is no question that the idea of Connie poisoning Altobello came from Don Corleone. But it was from Don Vincent Corleone, because Michael had given it up. The final plans that ended GFIII were Vincent's.
The act of "making her bones" was the final transformation for Connie, whom I believe to be one of the most compelling characters in the trilogy.
