Outsourcing an activity reduces the risk of under-utilising the resources used

Outsourcing an activity normally reduces the risk of under-utilising the resources used in undertaking the activity internally

This statement is true.

But I don’t understand. If I am outsourcing an activity, then I am not utilising the labor and resources that I would have used had I chosen to get the same activity done internally.

So , by outsourcing, I am increasing the risk that I will be under utilising the resources available to me.

Would you please help me understand how I am incorrect?
