fazer estudos comparativos (em relação às outras empresas)

Explanation:
Do site da Novartis no Brasil:
"Estabelecemos metas ambiciosas, realizamos benchmark (estudos comparativos) com a concorrência e buscamos sempre níveis de desempenho que reflitam as melhores práticas da indústria."
We set ambitious targets, benchmarking ourselves against peers, and striving always for ´best practice´ levels of performance.

comparar nosso desempenho

Explanation:
"Precisamos começar a comparar nosso desempenho com o das empresas líderes no setor ..."


"Benchmarking" é o processo "comparativo de desempenho de seu negócio face a outras empresas", como se vê em:
http://www.sap.com/brazil/solucoes/benchmarking/benchmarking...

Vem de "benchmark", ou "A standard by which something can be measured or judged". Usado como verbo, "to benchmark" significa "To measure (a rival's product) according to specified standards in order to compare it with and improve one's own product". Ver:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/benchmark

Envolve, portanto, a noção de comparação com um padrão de excelência.

O termo em inglês também é corrente em português. Porém, propor uma tradução pode ser útil.
