In consulting we faced that problem given that the usual career path revolved around management and sales. We came up with a new career path and called them SMEs (Subject Matter Experts). A whole different path where the success criteria were quite different and designed to encourage people to stay in that role but take their subject knowledge to the very highest level that they could and to become subject mentors for others.
